Solutions

1:A - Liston went down in the first round to one of the most famous right hands in the history of boxing – “the phantom punch”. Some spectators at ringside thought it was a perfect punch. Others thought it was a fix. Either way, it all happened in the first round. , 2:C - They scored six goals each., 3:A - Bolt had to give back the medal he won in the 100-metre relay in 2008 when his Jamaica teammate Nesta Carter tested positive for a banned substance in 2016., 4:B - Baresi, the Italy captain, also blazed his penalty over the bar. It was the first penalty shootout in a World Cup final., 5:B - When asked whether running the four-minute mile was his biggest achievement, Bannister later said he felt prouder of his work in academic medicine., 6:B - Maradona gave Hodge his shirt after the game, presumably to thank him for the assist., 7:D - USA won on penalties after a goalless draw at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, just like Brazil did five years earlier when Baggio and Baresi put their spot kicks over the bar., 8:B - Smith had just set a new world record of 19:83 seconds., 9:C - Brazil won 1-0 and Pelé set up the goal. When Moore died in 1993, he said: "He was my friend as well as the greatest defender I ever played against. The shirt he wore against me in that 1970 match is my prize possession.
